Die 3 kleinen Schweinchen

Based on the original English fairy tale, clownish, implemented with a lot of humor in an open style of play with puppets and sounding objects.

For ages 6 and up

Once upon a time, there was a pig that spoke in rhyme, And monkeys who chewed tobacco, And chickens who sniffed to be strong, you see, And ducks that quacked, quack, quack!

... And there was also a sow with three piglets, and when she no longer had enough to feed them, she sent them away to seek their fortune... and one of them did find it, fortune, a house, the wolf, and whatever else comes with fortune – for better or worse...

Thoughts on the tale of the "3 Little Pigs"

The contents of fairy tales are often controversial in modern education because they seemingly convey cruel messages. However, the fairy tale is full of profound messages that are perceived by children and open-minded adults as what they are: ancient, archetypal soul images. The seemingly weaker one conquers the threatening and evil. Evil (the wolf) is complacent and self-satisfied. He does not reflect on his actions. His self-worth is built on power and prestige. Two little pigs who are not mature enough to survive because they are preoccupied with external values like "being the most beautiful and wanting things" are eaten by the wolf. The third pig observes the wolf very carefully and knows his weaknesses. It plays with the danger of being eaten and outwits the wolf.

At the same time, the inner feelings of the wolf and the piglets become visible through the actors' performance and their relationship. The audience experiences the feelings of schadenfreude and joy, power and powerlessness, superiority and cunning, anger and cleverness... up close. They see that even after all the power struggles and manipulations, reconciliation can happen. Because as always, in the fairy tale, there is a happy ending.
